The online Flash game ''MechQuest'' is a "lunch break sized" RPG that takes place in the land of Lore. The game, though online, is single player, and uses online functions for updating the game very easily and for wars. For a one time fee, you can unlock ''all'' the features in the game. It is considered very literal [[Sequel Reset|prequel Reset]] to both ''[[Dragon Fable]]'' and ''[[Adventure Quest]]''. The science-fiction story is based about the land of Lore- about 5,000 years prior to its precursor, ''[[Adventure Quest]]''.
The main plot revolves around the Shadowscythe, an alien race trying to [[World Domination|take over the world]] of Lore. Most of the wars and quests are related to the Shadowscythe and the on-going battle to protect their home-world.
For a one-time fee, you can become a Star Captain to buy more weapons, extra quests, more Planets, etc. Since this isn't a monthly fee, it can be worth it, but only if you have US$20 to spare, and are ''really'' into the game; otherwise, you're not paying for too much. You can also buy Nova Gems, whether you are a Star Captain or free player, for strong weapons, decoration for your star-ship, and improved mechas. They add ''very little'' to the game compared to Star Captain-ship. On the brighter side, you can find ''Nova Gems'' as a reward from watching Ballyhoo's ads, but not very often, and only in small packs.
The game doesn't have only its simple fighting system to keep players enticed. Wars are special events to move certain Planet related plot-lines, where you enter a series of battles, each mecha you (and other players) destroy soon works toward a certain goal to fight the big Boss for some rare Event Items. You can find mini-games, though not many, in some quests. Your own space ship is a big feature, too. You can buy things for your space ship, including a arcade-style video game. The downside is that most of the things for your ship cost Nova Gems.
It is part of the [[Artix Entertainment]] universe, which in order of in-universe chronology goes: ''MechQuest'' (5000 years before ''[[Adventure Quest]]''), ''[[Dragon Fable]]'' (set 5 years prior to ''[[Adventure Quest]]''), ''[[Adventure Quest]]'' (set 5 years before ''[[Adventure Quest Worlds]]''), ''[[Warp Force]]'' (set at the same time as Adventure Quest but [[In Space]]), and ''[[Adventure Quest Worlds]]''. (Mind you this is the ''simple'' version, the [[Timey-Wimey Ball]] of the Reset makes it ''even more'' confusing!)
Line 17:
* [[Allegedly Free Game]]: Becoming a Star Captain, which costs $20, is necessary to max out your level, get the best equipment, and access a number of quests.
** "Get the best equipment" is reserved for the people that buy nova gems, not SCs. Free players can max out their levels, but not their stats (1 extra point per level as an SC). Access a number of quests, however, for sure.
*** There are also the very best items that require both nova gems ''and'' Star Captain. Although there are not many, and you can get away without them.
* [[Amusing Injuries]]: Anyone waiting in line at the hospital.
* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: Sys Zero and Odessa Pureheart
Line 34:
* [[Bad Santa]]: Shadow Claws and Mr. Z (disguised as 'Zanta Claws')
* [[Battleship Raid]]: One at the end of most wars.
